THE  CLASSROOM  LIBRARY. 


The  classroom  library,  a  collection  of  different 
titles  sent  to  a  schoolroom  for  the  school  year,  is  a 
form  of  Library  extension  work. 

These  books  are  to  go  into  the  homes  of  the 
children.  They  are  to  be  primarily  for  recreation; 
incidentally  they  will  aid  in  the  school  work. 

Each  book  contains  a  yellow  card;  on  this  the 
teacher  writes  the  name  of  the  child  who  wishes  the 
book.  These  cards  are  retained  by  the  teacher. 
She  counts  the  number  given  out  on  each  subject. 
The  total  of  the  four  or  five  distributions  made  dur¬ 
ing  the  month  constitutes  the  report  which  the 
Library  would  like  to  have  by  the  last  day  of  the 
month. 

Report  postals  will  be  furnished  by  the  Library. 

Any  further  information  desired  will  be  fur¬ 
nished  by  telephone.

Prologue 

“The  spirit  of  a  youth 

That  means  to  be  of  note,  begins  betimes/' — Shakespeare. 

St.  Louis,  fervently  longing  for  guidance  in  the  proper  education  of  the 
children,  the  future  builders  of  the  city,  is  visited  by  Wisdom.  She  brings  to 
him  two  friends.  Library  and  School,  who  will  undertake  to  help  him  realize 
his  dream. 

Episode  I 

“For  we  cannot  tarry  here. 

We  must  march,  my  darlings,  we  must  bear  the  brunt  of  danger. 

We,  the  youthful  sinewy  races,  all  the  rest  on  us  depend. 

Pioneers!  0  pioneers!"  — Walt  Whitman. 

Early  dame  school  in  session.  Time,  1780.  School  session  interrupted  by 
an  Indian  attack  upon  the  village  of  St.  Louis. 

Episode  II 

“How  beautiful  is  youth!  how  bright  it  gleams 
With  its  illusions,  aspirations,  dreams! 

Book  of  Beginnings,  Story  without  End. 

Each  maid  a  heroine,  and  each  man  a  friend!" — Longfellou). 

Scene  on  grounds  of  an  early  public  school.  Time,  1847.  A  large  proces¬ 
sion,  including  historical  characters  and  returned  soldiers  from  the  Mexican 
war,  passes  the  school. 

Episode  III 

“These  stores  of  mystic  meaning — these  young  lives. 

Building,  equipping,  like  a  fleet  of  ships — immortal  ships! 

Soon  to  sail  out  over  the  measureless  seas. 

On  the  Soul's  voyage."  — Walt  Whitman. 

Scene  in  old  Central  High  School.  Time,  1866.  During  that  year  the 
schools  gave  a  fairy  spectacle  to  raise  money  to  start  the  library.  This  enter¬ 
tainment  will  end  the  episode. 

Episode  IV 

“Where  street  Arabs,  or  dreaming  ladies,  or  men  of  affairs  are 
lured  into  our  libraries,  we  will  have  a  suffrage  more  pure,  ad¬ 
ministration  more  strong,  finance  more  simple." — Edward  Everett  Hale. 

Public  exercises  in  celebration  of  the  popular  vote  for  the  tax  to  support 
a  free  public  library.  Address  by  Edward  Everett  Hale. 

The  historic  event  upon  which  this  episode  is  based  took 
place  in  the  old  Exposition  Building  just  preceding  the 
vote  for  a  tax. 

Episode  V 

“We  may  see  how  all  things  are. 

Seas  and  cities,  near  and  far. 

And  the  flying  fairies'  looks. 

In  the  picture  story-books." — Robert  Louis  Stevenson. 
Present  day  scene  in  the  children's  room  of  a  Branch  of  the  Public  Library. 


Epilogue 

“Armies  and  emperors  and  kings. 

All  carrying  different  kinds  of  things. 

And  marching  in  so  grand  a  way. 

You  never  saw  the  like  by  day.” — Robert  Louis  Stevenson. 

Children  gather  to  do  homage  to  St.  Louis,  bringing  with  them  their 
friends  in  books. 

Four  interludes  carry  through  the  pageant  the  symbolism  portrayed  in  the 
Prologue  and  Epilogue.  The  words  spoken  by  Library  in  the  interlude  between 
Episodes  III  and  IV  are  taken  from  the  address  of  Edward  Everett  Hale. 

Produced  under  the  direction  of  Miss  Sucile  Bryan

Thou  art,  O  man,  but  half  what  Nature  at  thy  birth 
Made  thee, — and  half  what  thou  hast  made  thyself  on  earth. 
She  laid  the  building  ground  thou  canst  not  change  one  jot; 
’Tis  thine  to  build  thereon  a  shapely  house,  or  not. 

To  that  thou  canst  do  naught, — with  this  hast  all  to  do; 

Thou  need'st  not  rust  nor  rest,  with  this  great  work  in  view. 
Rest  not  till  thou  hast  made  right  what  is  wrong  in  thee, — 
This  cannot  be  too  soon,  nor  yet,  too  late  begun; 

The  making  of  a  man's  a  work  that's  never  done. 

Ruckert:  Wisdom  of  the  Brahmin. 

Favorite  quotation  of  Mr.  Frederick  M.  Crunden, 
Librarian ,  Public  Library,  1877-1908.
